Kelley Automotive Group has purchased the Chrysler Dodge Jeep and RAM franchises from Shifferly Dodge in Decatur, Ind. Located at 704 N. 13th St., Shifferly Dodge served Decatur, Bluffton, the greater Fort Wayne area and Van Wert, Ohio.

Kelley Automotive already had a presence in Decatur with Tom Kelley Chevy Buick (1313 S. 13th St.) since 1987 and Tom Kelley Ford (1341 S. 13th St.) since 2003.

Sales and service work of Chrysler Dodge Jeep and RAMs will be moved to the current Kelley location. Ground will be broken this fall for the new Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM store and next spring for a new Chevrolet Buick store. The campus will include Tom Kelley Chevrolet Buick, Tom Kelley Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM and Tom Kelley Ford.

“We are excited to have seven automotive brands on our 11.5-acre campus and to build on our 31-year presence in Decatur,” said Tom Kelley, president of Kelley Automotive Group. “This new, expanded location will help us better serve our customers in Adams, Wells and southern Allen counties.”
